Both me and @i cant think have a ton of wrasse and have also had huge issues with coral eating asterinas. One of my wrasse was a dusky too. Definitely did not eat the asterinas.

If you want a wrasse that eats them then I think you need a thalassoma wrasse but unfortunately they are very aggressive. My little 2.5” one has killed two urchins as big as it is.
Yeah it was either my Dusky or my monster serpent star. Either was possible, that dusky picked at EVERYTHING and ate many things it probably shouldn't have. All I know is they were there - I saw them daily, then they weren't and I haven't seen any in monthssss
 
Yeah, restrained. Like this restrained right…..

Finally a picture of all the political hopefuls getting along hahaha!
 
Pretty sure mine ate any size, not confirmed it was him but seems most likely. He also ate all my feather dusters though :loudly-crying-face: Can't wait to get the tanks split back up so I can start adding them again when he's separated.

Absolutely would be lunch for a dusky, at least once it's big enough. Others maybe not.
I mean, I have a Jade wrasse which is arguably slightly more predatory (and ‘aggressive’ - Mine isn’t).
Don’t know what this guy says but he seems to be just fine with the wrasses swimming past him every morning, night and even at some points in the day.

I like big Wrasse and I cannot lie! Them other brothers can deny!
 
Thanks. Me too. I cleaned the glass last night and think I moved it into too much flow. If it's my fault, that's what happened. If it's not then idk what happened.
I noticed that mine doesn't like a ton of flow either. Still haven't gotten much polyp extension from it. I'm so afraid to move it to the rocks though.

I never saw any polyp extension on mine. and it looks like I never will. I remember seeing Adam say there are still reserves if needed. I might reach out to him tomorrow about that.
 
Printing some light hangers, something to hang my kessils from the radion bar that came with the tank. It'll be nice to have the cleaner look up top. If I can't get it in the tank, might as well have it above.

It's also a sign that I will do most things do to avoid writing the paper I have due this weekend.

Doser is working well. Thanks all for the kamoer recommendation. Setup is easy enough, and they work well.

In non reefing news. We started solids last week.
